The Edgar hairstyle, otherwise known as the Edgar cut or the Edgar haircut, is a hairstyle that is often associated with Latino culture. In the 2010s and early 2020s, the haircut gained virality among members of Generation Z and Millennials.^[1] The haircut is notably more popular in Mexican border states in the Southwest such as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.^[2]

The Edgar hairstyle is usually characterized as the front hair having straight fringes, or bangs, along with the sides tapered.^[3] The hairstyle can be worn with any hair texture, including more wavy and curly hair. The Edgar hairstyle is most prominent among young Latinos.^[4]

The origin for the name Edgar is unconfirmed, although it is often misattributed to having been named after former Seattle Mariners baseball player Edgar Martínez sometime in early 2019.^[5][6]

The hairstyle is associated with the Mexican Takuache aesthetic,^[7][8] often also called the Takuache haircut. The hairstyle has been found to have similarities to the hairstyles of the Jumano tribe.^[9][10][11]

The haircut is also slangily called the "cuh" in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, after the song Cuh 956 by Dagobeat.^[12]

The Edgar hairstyle has been met with a mixed reception. A professor at the University of Texas at El Paso noted in 2023 that the teen popularity of the styles makes it "a really big marker of this generation",^[13] whereas a barber from Corpus Christi, Texas called the hairstyle "not a favorite amongst parents".^[14] In late 2021, Riverside High School of El Paso, Texas attempted to ban the haircut, claiming the hairstyle "provokes distraction".^[15][16]
